Oh, for a legislature that would
not shrink its duty to -perform!
The Borrego murderers have
been executed. The president
would not interfere to save their
lives.
The Mississippi llood sufferers
have applied to President McKin
ley for relief, and Congress will
make an appropriation for that
purpose.
Judge Walter (J. Ilines, of Trin
idad, has been appointed commis
sioner of the penitentiary, bv Gov.
Adams. Judge Ilines has many
acquaintances and friends in Baca
county who will be glad to send
him greeting.
A stage-driver in Wvoming was
lost in a blizzard last week, from
Tuesday morning till Friday night,
and was tramping through the
snow oil foot most ot the time.
His team perished, and he was
about crazy when found.
The big cities of Ohio have re
pudiated the new administration
by giving democratic majorities,
while Chicago has gone over
whelmingly for the democrats and
iroe silver. The spring elections
in other states have generally gone
against the goldbugs.
Denver city election resulted in
the success ol the Taxpayers tick
et by a big majority. This ticket
was supported by one branch of
the Peoples party, the National
Silver party, Taxpayers and Wa
ler-consumers. The straight Mc-
Kinley candidate lor mayor re
ceived very few votes. McMurray
the present incumbent came near
having a majority of all votes cast.
Denver is not to be outdone by
San Francisco and Kansas City, in
the matter of seeing airships.
Thousands ot Denverites will
swear they saw a huge monster
guided through the atmosphere by
a man. From the fact that the
kite was seen late in the afternoon
of election day, we are inclined to
believe only the Democrats and
Republicans saw the vision. It
was victory flitting away from
them.
Notwithstanding there is con
siderable sentiment against the
law abolishing capital punishment,
we believe it an advance step in
civilization. Killing people is a
relic of barbarism. We tail to
find by statistics where its influ
ence lessened crime. We do not
believe that crime will increase
nor that inob violence will be
practiced to any greater extent
with the new law in force. Give
Senator lingley one mark high up
on the reform wall.
An extra session ol the legisla
ture has been called by Gov. Ad
ains. This was made necessary by
the failure of tlie-assemblv to pass
the appropiation bills so the state
machinery can be oiled and kept
running. Not content with a steal
as to employes, these McKinley
republicans and populists saw an
other way to get a dig at the mon
ey ol the people by not doing their
c]uty pi providing for the running
of the state and passing the appro
priation bills. They are a long
headed set, those fellows.
We are indebted to the State
Superintendent of schools for a
copy of her Arbor Day circular.
We will plant trees this year on
the 16th. inst —next Friday. It is
made a holiday and all schools are
expected to lead m the observance
of the day. The Stale Superin
tendent is anxious that much effort
be put forth that trees be selected
and plauted with care. In her
address to teachers and officers
she says: “The school children of
Colorado, by means ot the annual
rites of Arbor Day hold a tremend
ous power that is working belief
icent results for their State. Rec
ognizing their influence in the
preservation of forests ami the cul
tivation of woodlands, all pupils
will take an active part in tiie les
tivities of the April holiday.
Teachers should make each pupil
feel a personal responsibility. It
is the individual acceptance of
public duties that fosters patriot
ism and loyally. It is, therefore,
urged that programs be arranged
with the view of giving each child
some active part.
